While waiting for the next custom firmware coming from Dark AleX and Team M33, there's one based on the official Sony PlayStation Portable firmware 3.93 that surfaced which appears to be a functional alternative. Only known as CFW 3.93, it's said to be rooted in M33's work and gives credit to usual CFW contributors. To kick things off, here's the changelog provided for CFW 3.93
With that out of the way, if you're still wondering what this custom firmware is all about, here's a video demonstrating its features: Thanks to Moose Island and Seven Points for the tip! Download: Custom Firmware 3.93 |

I'm not sure if this is the same exact one, but it probably is. A guy that goes by Kratosjohn lays claim to a 3.93 cfw. Just thought I would say this.

» Select for recovery?
Thanks, now I know for sure I won't be using this CFW. Select is the button to take pics + vids with the Chotto Shot camera.
And it's not even 3.95...

I had my doubt's at first seeing as how it wasn't released by DAX nor M33, but after playing around with it, it's rock solid, everything that worked for 3.90m33-3, works on here so far.It has more options (Create Pandora Battery, Recovery by pressing the HOME button, PSX Eboots now work again!!). I highly recommended it, If you scared, then your missing out.

...is whether or not upgrading to this CFW will interfere with upgrading to an actual M33 release.
I mean, how many people had trouble upgrading to 3.80 M33 from those "HX" CFWs?

Yeah I agree with you billylee8 , it may be difficult upgrading to the next M33 release, but personally, I think I'm gonna stick with this 3.93 release.It carries a tad bit more features as opposed to 3.90m33-3 ,personally I don't think I'll update to the next m33 update unless it's 4.00 or something.

So it's select for the recovery NOT home, you can download 3.90 M33-3 from the Network Update even though its a 3.93 kernel, and it gets bricks after 13 hours? This is what happens when it's not made by the master.

» Don't Follow Read Me Directions
SOB, I followed the readme directions and ended upgrading to the Official 3.93 Firmware...SOB
Just extract that entire .zip/.rar file into the root of the memory stick and run the CFW Installer.
I followed the instructions and copied the 3.93.PBP into the PSP/Game/UPDATE Folder and put the official update in the root folder! Then booted up what I though was the CFW program.
Now my PSP is totally worthless to me.
To the Person Who uploaded the CFW 3.93, "If you are going to make some changes to the release, at least change the readme file so people don't end up upgrading to the real 3.93 firmware.

You are a *****ing idiot if you updated to OFW 3.93, the update is named 3.93.PBP, the only way possible for you to update using that is by renaming 3.93 PBP to EBOOT.PBP, that isn't in the readme, therefore you are an idiot and probably thought you knew what you were doing. Fool.

so you didnt put the eboot in the update folder its quite easy you just had to drag the psp folder that is in the zip to the root and click yes to overright then put the 393.pbp on the root
this is what the readme says
Create a folder called UPDATE in /PSP/GAME and copy the EBOOT.PBP there included in this package.
Copy the original Sony 3.93 update to the root of the memory stick with the name 393.PBP
Launch app, and follow the instructions.
and it is right
press select just to make sure you are on ofw

Well the PSP folder already had the necessary folders and the EBOOT.PBP, so creating a folder called UPDATE was not necessary.
I took the 393.PBP file and put it in the UPDATE folder int the GAME folder, and renamed the 393.PBP file to EBOOT.PBP. Then I downloaded the offical 3.93 firmware and put it in the root folder and renamed it to 393.PBP. Then I launched the program (turned out to be offical PSP Firmware) and followed the instructions.
The next thing I knew, I couldn't run any homebrew programs and my psp become completely worthless.
A proper readme would say: "Copy the PSP folder and 393.PHP file to the root of the memory stick and click Yes All to over write the files. Then launch the application and follow the instructions."

I could:

2. Buy an Datel Tool Battery (puts psp into service mod)
3. Convert the current psp battery to pandora by taking it apart and desolder one leg of a surface mount chip and create the magic memory stick.
